Some people believe that there should be a fixed punishment for each type of crime. Others, however, argue that the circumstances of an individual crime, and the motivation for committing it, should always be taken into account when deciding on the punishment. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Some parts of society opine that a fixed

punishment

should be received to the criminals for each type of

crime

, whereas others believe that reason behind the illegal activities should take into consideration before deciding on the

punishment

.

To begin

with, a fixed

punishment

is given for severe crimes

such

as rape, drugs smuggling and human trafficking. The reason behind

this

is to reduce the

crime

rate so that

people

will think twice before committing a

crime

.

For instance

, reports have shown that Saudi Arabia has the least

crime

rate due to its strong law regarding criminal activities.

Nevertheless

, the fixed suffering will be a sign of justice to innocent

people

and families.

This

will increase the dependency of the community on the laws and regulations.

On the other hand

,

people

think the law should investigate the motive behind these crimes. There might be several circumstances which forced to commit an unlawful act

such

as financial problem, unemployment, hunger or criminal suffering from mental illness. The court should take into account all these reasons before delivering a

punishment

. India has set an example in front of the world by giving a chance to the culprit to represent his side of the story.

Although

this

method is time time-consuming, still

people

received the right amount of

punishment

. To sum it, the two sides of the argument concerning the

punishment

that criminals should receive.

Although

fixed

punishment

plays a vital role in a low-

crime

index, we cannot deny that a proper investigation should be done before coming to a conclusion.
